hey guys nice forums, im new here.

well to the point this is wat is happening:

Car: 1998 Mitsubishi Eclipse GST

Type: Convertible

Miles: 151,000

Transmission: Manual

Price: 5,200 USD (Negotiable)

Things done in the car:

brand new racing clutch, lowered, Painted in December (No dings or scratches) New interior, Pioneer sound system.It has lightweight flywheel in it, A B16G turbo that puts out 20 psi, A front mount intercooler by greddy, A greddy blow off valve, Magnacore wires, Prothane motor mounts, New tires Inzen air intake, Thermal research & devolvement exhaust, 3 inch piping from front to back, A 5 inch muffler no cats, Air fuel gauge, Boost gauge and pod, HKS turbo timer, A catch can and a upgraded fuel pump.

I can talk to the guy and getter a lower price for the car maybe 4,900, maybe less. What you guys think about this deal?

sounds alright alothough those miles on a 4g63 kind of scare me... Why was the car painted? ( maybe crashed) Just go drive it and see how it drives.

Did he put bigger injectors in? What type of fuel pump is he running? Find out that info. Also 151k and no engine rebuild??? Unless over time it's been rebuilt then I wouldn't even think of paying $4900 for it. I bought my eclipse(95 GSX)
with 100k miles on it and it was basically bone stock aside from full coilovers and Motegi MR-7's. That was it. I'd seriously consider finding a different one. Good deal yes but for the number of miles I'd be prepared to rebuild that engine soon cause you know it's been beat on. Good luck.

naw id get something else.mileage is crazy. ull spend more money on rebuilding the motor then ull spend getting the car. maybe something that is not convertable. well thats my opinion. good luck

Craigslist is where I found my dsm and I'm sure where many others found theirs at. You could try some dealers that may have a eclipse on there lot. In any case if your determined you'll find one. Good luck

Haha thats what I plan to do with this red 1G I seen down my block. Been sitting there for quite some time now and I wanna see if I can just take it off the ladies hands for free. Then do a rebuild on it.
